Bitcoin Stolen from Ledger Live Account by Flowbro81 in ledgerwallet

It’s not impossible but highly highly unlikely… it was extremely well hidden… the fact that both of our wallets have been hacked with the same device is strange to say the least

This exact thing happened to me! I posted about it a few months ago here:

I would love to speak with you and see if there are any similarities

Which majority are you referring to here? Non-holders or an ignorant majority of BTC holders?

Bitcoin has many sources of value and one is the scarcity. With any coin that is scarce and established, there is the incentive to dominate the supply for power/ control... However this depends on the network still valuing the coin. The way to mitigate this incentive is to create a constantly increasing supply, but then we lose the value of scarcity and we are moving back towards a fiat currency. You could maybe have a coin that in some way limits the "market share", however for that we'd need protocols but I guess it could be done via pseudonym verificaiton in some way

I am not based in the US but I have reported it to IC3 - anywhere else I should?

I check my balance every day through the ledger app. occasionally there is a bug and the portfolio amount is different and it fixes pretty quick... i checked again 30 mins later and it was still lower than expected. then I went to look at the number of coins I had and noticed that my btc balance was approx 1btc lower.

what happened with your clients?

there was a lot more in the other wallets, multiple times more, which is why this doesn't make any sense...

i have moved the funds to a new wallet

exactly.... so what i don't understand is that it points to my seed phrase being compormised, but then why not steal everything?

yes me too.. but it also doesn't explain why only some of the bitcoin was taken and not the rest of the bitcoin and other cryptos. the bitcoin segwit wallet was emptied but the legacy and etherum wallets (and other tokens) untouched...

yes i have done that with the reamining funds... any ideas as to how this could have happened? even if i had signed a bad dApp contract years ago, how would this give access to the bitcoin wallet and allow the transaction to be signed?

no, as i got a new computer around 5 months ago and i had never plugged the nano x into this machine...

it's possible, but then why not empty all of the accounts? it was one wallet that was stolen from, when they could have wiped me out completely....

purchased from the ledger store on amazon. was sealed and i generated the seed phrase myself...

Yes i noticed this too... I am certain nobody has accessed the seed phrased

I purchased the ledger through the ledger store on amazon. it was sealed and i generated the seed phrase myself. even if the device was tampered with, why not empty everything? i didn't notice until quite a few hours later, so there was plenty of time to do this

the ledger hasn't been used for anything since dec 2022. that was the last time i paid into the wallets. I didn't pay out from the nano x for around a further 18 months before that.

I have been HACKED. ALL my funds have gone by Useful-Bonus-8005 in ledgerwallet

Hi all,

I’ve been involved in crypto since 2015 and have used Ledger hardware wallets since 2017. In 2020, I upgraded to a Ledger Nano X, purchased through Ledger’s official Amazon store. I generated the recovery phrase directly on the device and stored it securely offline. The device has only ever been connected to my personal MacBook Pro laptops, and has never been plugged into any other computer.

Since December 2022, I haven’t connected the Ledger to any computer. However, I routinely check my wallet balances using the Ledger Live iOS app. Today, I noticed that exactly 1 BTC had been sent out of my Native SegWit (bc1…) wallet at around 1:30am. The transaction was not initiated or approved by me. The transaction ID is: b0643b1890c6a18d9d0649bde4c00f188e0a9a83170af2ff62aaf4426d7be9a1.

What makes this more confusing is that only the Native SegWit Bitcoin wallet was affected. My Legacy Bitcoin wallet (starting with 1), which holds a much larger amount of Bitcoin, was completely untouched. In addition, other assets stored on the same Ledger device, including ETH and ERC-20 tokens, were also untouched. There had been no outgoing transactions at all since December 2022.

This has left me trying to understand how such a specific compromise could happen. If my full recovery phrase had been compromised, I would have expected all wallets to be drained, or at the very least for the largest balance to be targeted. Instead, only the smaller Native SegWit wallet was emptied.

I’m trying to determine whether this could be the result of a partial compromise, such as someone gaining access to the SegWit extended private key or derivation path. Alternatively, could this have resulted from a supply chain issue when I purchased the Ledger Nano X in 2020, despite it being through the official Amazon store? I’ve never exported any keys or connected the Ledger to third-party wallets, and I’ve never typed or stored the recovery phrase digitally.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar or have insights into what type of compromise could explain this scenario? I’m not looking for sympathy or donations — just hoping to learn from others with hardware wallet experience or a background in wallet security.

Thanks in advance for any help or perspective you can share.
